Do You Agree With Immigrant rights advocates that jobs Americans want do now include building homes?

Answer 1

No it's sickening...

Before you know it panhandling will be the only jobs Americans will do and the only ones we will be able to get.

Good jobs over seas....

Not so good...taken by illegals....

Construction USE to be a GOOD paying job....THANKS DEMS and LIBS!!!

Answer 2

I never bought into the whole "jobs that only illegals will do" speech.the truth of the matter is that illegals tend to do jobs at a cheaper price wich the companies that hire them like. And that pretty much they will do any job no matter what it pays. U.S citizens sometimes tend to be a bit more pickier,they either want a better paid or they feel they are beneath a certain job. An example of this would be that while in highschool I worked in housekeeping making beds and cleaning rooms to earn some extra cash. The pay wasn't all that great but it was better than nothing. Yet I constantly would hear from people from other departments why i was working like i was illegal if i was a U.S citizen. or they would be all "oh no i wouldn't work for that pay,hell I get more money with the welfare check i receive". I think if more people would work no matter what the pay is.it would drive down the demand for those people to hire illegals and in return perhaps that would cause illegals to go somewhere else.

Answer 3

Well somewhere along the way we American's got to snooty to work for 10.00 an hour. Not to mention the economy got a little to high to survive on 10.00 an hour. So now we're all stuck with wanting more money an hour just to survive. But I do know that these jobs can put college students and others through school. I don't understand it. My teenage son is willing to take that 10.00 an hour job. So the answer is NO. There are plenty of people on walfare that can TAKE THE JOBS! Welfare should ask for some type of compensation in return as well.

Answer 4

It's not about jobs American don't want to do. We find the most likable job for the most money. The problem is that all the illegals have kept wages low and people are having a seriously hard time getting by, let alone prospering.
A carpenter used to be a professional trade people could be proud of. Now they're just laborers.

Answer 5

Its b.s. Craftsmanship has become a lost art. The quality of work done on these houses is pitiful. Back when highly trained craftsman were allowed to build houses, they took pride in their work, and the houses they built were amazing. Not anymore. I used to work in the construction industry, and I see what has happened. Also, people need to understand, these illegals are making good money. They refuse to work for minimum wage. A lot of them are making 14 -15 dollars per hour.

Answer 6

That's a common argument. They are doing jobs Americans won't do. We did fine for a long time without immigrants. We can do it again. I wonder if unemployment would be lower if there were jobs to be had that the immigrants are taking because supposedly, Americans won't take them.

Answer 7

No, I do not agree that Americans will not build homes.

I will agree that there are many that want to do that job but can't find a job because of illegal labor used within construction companies which has cut wages and benefits for American workers.

People need to wake up and start demanding at state and federal levels that such lies are just that - LIES - and do something so that American workers are not starved out of their own country.

Answer 8

nicely, i've got on no account had my activity taken by employing an immigrant, so i'm no longer waiting to declare. I think of that i could be indignant for the reason that that grow to be my activity & my employers have been too grasping to pay somebody an entire salary. i could be a splash mad on the immigrants, yet i could be extra mad at my employers for illegally hiring the unlawful immigrants or for hiring somebody at an unfair fee. that's not the immigrants as much as that's the unscrupulous agencies that attempt to shop a greenback by employing hiring illegals. additionally, you need to comprehend that a number of of jobs that are being taken are jobs that us human beings did no longer opt to do, including shape & different problematical exertions or menial projects. at first it wasn't just about as undesirable, yet ultimately agencies caught savvy to the thought they'd hire illegals or new immigrants for a fragment of the fee, and as such they began to push out the natives. whether the US workers have been problematical workers, they could nevertheless get crimson slipped so the employers ought to hire somebody extra fee-effective. And wager what? that's missed by employing the gov't. effective, they make a fuss, yet they do no longer likely do something to penalize the agencies that use unlawful workers. fairly, you need to blame the employers & the gov't. no longer the immigrants. EDIT: Ah, are you speaking approximately immigrants frequently? no longer purely those that are available illegally or are unskilled? The experienced immigrants need to be employed. that's fairly problematical to return over legally, and that's much extra durable to get a level which will pass over to the US. a number of of out of u . s . a . tiers are not official over right here, so those that do pass are fairly aggressive & problematical to get.

Answer 9

Nope, this is bald faced propoganda and it's an insult to our intelligence every time someone (Bush included) tries to pass this off as a legitimate reason to ignore the Consitution and throw open the flood gates. This country has no use, or room, for the type of immigrants we are getting.

Answer 10

It used to be, not that long ago, that you could work construction and support a family of four. Not anymore. It's a less respected trade now when it's done by illegals, and their work is shoddy.

What qualified craftsman would work for those low wages?
$8 - $12 an hour. They can't make it on those wages, so they start a company and hire illegals. It's a snowball effect.

Answer 11

I think Mexico should raise the minimum wage to equal the United States. Fair trade, Jobs need to be equal and they are not. Why should we train the population to do our work. It is a problem and the problem is we are keeping Mexico a third world nation......People want to leave. They com here to do all of our work and it is only good if you are the employer.
